Airfix Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a AIR04062 (1/72)

When the jet age arrived in WWII, it arrived fast. The Airfix Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a AIR04062 (1/72) recreates the two-seat variant of the world’s first operational jet fighter.

Produced by Airfix, this 1/72 scale plastic kit represents the Me 262B-1a, a night fighter and trainer development of the revolutionary Me 262 platform. With its twin jet engines and swept wings, the aircraft marked a dramatic shift in aerial warfare during the final stages of World War II.

The model captures the sleek fuselage, distinctive engine nacelles, and extended canopy of the two-seat configuration. In 1/72 scale, it fits seamlessly into late-war Luftwaffe collections and aviation displays focused on technological innovation.

Ideal for modelers interested in WWII jet aircraft, Luftwaffe history, or transitional designs that bridged propeller-driven fighters and the modern jet era.

Supplied unassembled and unpainted.

Early jet power. Late-war desperation. Serious display presence.
